Order Process for FSD Transfer

[GoodManFrank]

As expected, despite what the sales guy "promised", I didn't get any credits. I just got the loyalty $500 credit. Oh well, better than nothing

Yeah little disappointed. I really like the 10000 credit as I can get acceleration boost with it, which is worth the value IMO.

The only way to get the credit is to refer a new user to Tesla. It doesn't work if the people you referred already own a Tesla product.

How long does it take for the credit to show up in someone’s account after delivery?

I didn’t get it

I didn’t get it

Aw man sorry! I used a friends referral code and took delivery Saturday. We were wondering when he will see something show up in his account.

Sales rep says will appear after they take delivery. Not sure how long though.

But if you already own a Tesla and this is your second order, they won’t get referral credit

Disappointed that they are not giving the credits. I specifically asked what the incentives were before ordering. and got the reply below. I'll still make some effort to get them to honor it, but don't have much hope of succss.

Seems like sales are deliberately lying to make you believe you'll receive the credits. Same thing happened to me. But I have no text evidence like you.

Or poorly trained on the incentives which is probably more likely.

I would agree, when I went to test drive a MY at one NJ store and at another, I got different answers. So I think it’s poor communication on Teslas part. I also got verbally told the credits would come to me even though I’m a pervious owner.

Apparently, as of this morning, the FSD transfer now takes place within 24 hours of taking delivery of the new car. They really are making it up as they go

 

[frankvb]

For some reason FSD was re-instated on the existing Y this morning, even though delivery of the new one is later today. I texted Tesla and they said everything is fine.

Wow so maybe you can secretly keep FSD on your existing Y

Are any of you concerned that HW4 Model Y will have inferior FSD capabilities (or none at all) and parking capabilities due to lack of Radar/USS/Front bumper camera?

FSD beta does not use Radar/USS, so I think it's not an issue at all. Non of the current Teslas have bumper camera so HW4 can't make it worse.

As for parking capabilities, the vision park assist is indeed trash right now. But I had another car without USS at all so its fine for me. I just ignore the park assist.

Yes was thinking that I picked the new one up and at the same time FSD disappeared again on the old one.

So perhaps they have improved the process and it will be removed right at the time of delivery of the new one.

My experience is similar to everyone here, frustrating.

My SA emailed me after I placed an order online, and congrats me on the purchase, I mention to him about the FSD transfer, and he reply back saying he'll get the paperwork to me that same day.

And after that, never replied to my email and return my voice message I left. Being in the Bay Area, everything was happening very quickly.

I order on 8/1, got my VIN on 8/3, and ask me to schedule delivery on 8/4.

When I try to delay not scheduling the delivery date on the app, Tesla called and say I'll lose my VIN if I don't schedule delivery.

Fed up and somewhat anxious, I schedule delivery for yesterday (8/7), and in the notes section, I mentioned FSD transfer paperwork not complete, DO NOT deliver the car to my house. I will not accept delivery.

As it got close to the weekend, I end up making a visit to the Santana Row Tesla store, and someone there got me the FSD transfer PDF right away, I sign it and email it back to him, and he opened a case for me. Everything is very manual on their end.

I was checking the invoice and nothing has been updated, so I went back to the same store again on Sunday, told the person I have a schedule delivery date tomorrow, and they fire off an email to the team/person handling these request. 30 minutes later, the person at the store text me and say paperwork has been done.

Lesson for others in similar situation, visit your local Tesla store (if possible), and talk to a real person. I suppose they can't ignore you if you're standing right in front of them.

Now they deliver the car to my driveway yesterday, but they haven't withdraw the money from my bank yet. Can I take the money back and leave the country? Darn technology, Tesla can track my car anywhere.

You can, but I guess the vehicle will remain owned by Tesla until they file the paperwork with the DMV, which they will only do once they get paid.

No. FSD on my 2019 Model 3 was worthless and basic cruise control with the phantom braking was worse than our F-150. I chalked my early small investment into FSD as a sunk cost and really only saw the FSD transfer credit as a way to get EAP, the only thing I would have paid for, for free. If FSD turns out anything marginally better than useless it’ll be icing on the cake.

I have delivery of our 7seater MYLR scheduled for the evening of 8/12. I did the FSD paperwork on 8/5 and my sales rep said he uploaded it to my case. I’ve accepted Tesla’s offer on my 2018 M3LRRWD. I have a pending loan approval in the Tesla app but it’s showing the values with the $15000 FSD add-on so I haven’t accepted it for that reason. However, with the trade-in value of the paid off M3 it’s showing that Tesla owes ME a little over $2000 on delivery and so my final payment is already completed in the delivery steps. I don’t want to accept anything from Tesla and just want the entire value of my trade-in applied as down on the MY but I don’t want to modify the loan values and end up screwing myself over. Just getting a little anxious even though I have about 92 hours until delivery. Hopefully I don’t have to be calling them constantly. But I’m going to follow up tomorrow and see if they can expedite. As of an hour ago, FSD is still active on the M3.

I received an updated MVOA and it shows basic autopilot as included and no FSD as I ordered and the price had been reduced accordingly. This doesn’t seem right? Correct me if I’m wrong.
